“Secretive chip maker Transmeta will make a splash in the
Big Apple next week, revealing the names of several PC makers who
are expected to use its Crusoe TM 5400 notebook chips.
“For cutting-edge consumers, Transmeta’s chips and LongRun power
management software hold the promise of lighter notebooks with
longer-lasting batteries.”
“The company will trot out several notebooks at the show,
including models from PC makers IBM and NEC, sources said. There it
will tout the notebooks’ combination of light weight — between
three and 3.5 pounds — long battery life and multimedia
performance, company officials said.”
